Offices outgrow printer paper trays before they outgrow printers, and the LT-6500 is the clean fix: a genuine Brother 520-sheet lower tray that slides beneath compatible laser printers and multi-function machines to multiply paper capacity between refills. Instead of sending someone to the supply cabinet mid-run, busy workgroups stack two full reams in the optional tray and let the printer draw from it automatically, keeping long print jobs and shared-department printing uninterrupted. As a first-party Brother unit, it fits, feeds and reports exactly like the tray the machine shipped with.

Use Cases
Workgroups that share one printer install it to stop the mid-job paper run, offices that keep letterhead and plain paper loaded side by side use the added tray for separate stocks, and busy departments simply enjoy refilling paper half as often. It is also the standard fix when a printer migrates from a single desk to shared duty.
Compatibility
The tray is designed for the Brother HL-L5000D, HL-5100DN and DCP-L5500DN, attaching beneath the printer and integrating with its paper handling so pages draw from either tray automatically as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much capacity does it add?
- 520 sheets, effectively doubling the paper a compatible machine holds between refills.
- Does the printer switch trays automatically?
- Yes, the printer draws from the added tray as part of its normal paper handling when configured.
- Can it hold a different paper stock?
- Yes, many offices keep letterhead in one tray and plain paper in the other so switching stock requires no touching the printer.

Paper capacity is one of those unglamorous upgrades that changes daily office life immediately, and a genuine Brother tray is the way to do it without compromise. For HL-L5000D, HL-5100DN and DCP-L5500DN owners whose printers now serve more people than they were bought for, the LT-6500 lets the hardware grow with the workload.
